King Ding Dong

In one and half seasons and at least a dozen trips we have not been on KI's WindSeeker once. Every time we are back there it has been down. Every time. Slightly better luck at CP and have been on it only 3 times. We have had 3 times as many rides on TTD.

If you count the toxic petro chemicals they add to it for the blue color as food. I guess so.

20 minutes? I have never taken it either and maybe it has been reformulated but 20 years ago when I read up on it before a cruise the instructions from the cruise line was to start taking it a minimum of 3 days before the trip. I don't get sick on coasters but occasionally get a bit uneasy on the spinning rides. Sitting down with a cool drink for 10-15 minutes seems to work well for me. Reading in a car also can do it after awhile (as a passenger )

Interesting. So a boneless wing doesn't need to made from wing meat. I guess that makes sense because there is no ham in a hamburger.

I should hope it is not breast meat as it is supposed to be a boneless wing.

I don't argue with anything said here but..... What on earth is a boneless chicken wing? I have never seen a chicken without bones in its wings. Sausage, nuggets, hot dogs, deli meats, hamburgers, McRib etc are all Frankenfoods. Less than best quality cuts of meat and are going to have what many of us find to be the nasty parts in them often not disguised as well as planned. This just goes with the territory. These kinds of foods are manufactured and with ANY manufacturing process there is a certain failure rate.

Have you thought about having the ceremony at Winterfest?

They will push down within reason and will sometimes try and get a stronger op to help. I nope out of that, I really don't want to be so stuffed in that if there was a malfunction and I had to sit on a lift for an hour, I would go bonkers. The belt on Magnum is really close for me. I couldn't get it to click last week for some reason, gave up and was half out of the seat when a ride op told me to sit back down because I was so close. He was able to get it to click, so I would say *most* of the time they will do what the can to get you in.

Tip for using the test seats. Make sure the adjustment on the belt is extended out all they way. I discover a couple of weeks ago I fit fine on Maverick with lots of room to spare while previously it was a no go. I did loose weight but not that much.

^ IIRC the tea dispenser in the middle does have plain water.

^ Never been there. Is it any worse than climbing the towers at a water park?

Many, many people report the same experience on Wicked Twister with no change in weight. The consensus seems to be Intamin is shipping shorter replacement belts. My wife and kids all fit fine and rode it once and have no desire to ever ride it again. Same wIth Corkscrew. There are much better options at CP.

What issues are there with Maverick? I found it very comfortable, there is nothing to bang your head on. Rougarou has some head banging after the MCBR but is just tolerable as it mostly just hurts my ears.

We had this issue come up some pages back with the All Season meal plan. I wrote the park for clarification and I posted their response. Bottom line as long as the person who bought the plan picks up the food the park does not care who eats it. So don't share the wristband or whatever they give you and all should be fine.

Does that in include the 15 minute walk to the station?

Probably has something to do with raising the temperature of the water to 212F.

^ With the changes and added preferred parking in that lot there is less general parking available and I have seen that lot full or nearly full this year. I wouldn't expect the policy to change until maybe after Labor Day when CPS shuts down.

I hope so. We need to all lobby for "Smokehouse Express" for fall/winter.

Can't go wrong with a giant bowl of cheese. It's the universal food.

Yes! War on Basketballs! At least hand them out deflated.

What coasters were they doing that one? I have only seen it on Magnum a couple of weeks ago and then it was when they were running 3 trains.

Depends on the weather or more importantly the weather forecast. Despite the potential for large crowds I find it a great way to spend the 4th when living in a city that does not allow consumer fireworks. If rides are the main attraction for you a Fast Lane + pass is a consideration if crowds look to be large. As with any fireworks display expect heavy traffic afterwards so pack some snacks and drinks and fill your gas tank.

Isn't the problem the head banging with the OTSR's? Or does it go beyond that? After seeing what it did to Kiefer last year I haven't tried it to experience it myself as I have an 1 1/2 hour drive home and can't do that safely with a mild concussion.

That's just food. Good anytime.

What is a Winter food?
